Heston
======

[](#heston)

Heston is just FTP Wrapper, writter in PHP with Git-Powered inside it. It means Heston really need Git to be installed first in our working project directory before we can use it.

Requirement
-----------

[](#requirement)

- PHP &gt;= 5.3.\*

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
{
    "require": {
        "heston/heston": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

and type this command below to make sure that Heston is ready to use

```
vendor\bin\heston help

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

Just specify the URL of the FTP Server, Username - Password, and local directory that contains the files you want to upload. For example, we have a directory called **repo** in our project directory, looks like

```
- MyProject
  * file_1
  * file_2
  - repo
    * repo_file_1
    * repo file_2

```

Lets say, the URL of our FTP is ftp://ftp.glendmaatita.com in port 21, username and password are root-secret. So we will run a command like this

```
vendor\bin\heston ftp://root:password@ftp.glendmaatita.com:21 repo/ "Upload file"

```

The last argument is comment, which is optional

If we want to upload entire of **MyProject** directory, simply change **repo/** to dot, like this

```
vendor\bin\heston ftp://root:password@ftp.glendmaatita.com:21 . "Upload file"

```

The files will upload to directory of the FTP's user and automatically committed by Heston with comment you provide before.
